MIIPS, 2025

This is how to say my name:

About

I am passionate about seeking new ideas, skills and perspectives to expand my understanding of the world. I want to utilize this understanding to find feasible solutions through extensive research collaborations which does not hamper user experience and is profitable for the business as well. This balanced approach will help me to contribute meaningfully to both user-centric design and business success. My design education and work experience as a UX/UI designer has equipped me with an objective outlook, patience and ability to actively listen. These qualities help me effectively process all types of feedback and work iteratively.

Why MIIPS?

The MIIPS program's elective flexibility will allow me to enhance my understanding of UX. I am drawn to its collaborative environment which will provide me with an opportunity to work with people from different professional backgrounds. This will equip me to tackle complex challenges with interdisciplinary solutions. Moreover, the program with its diverse curriculum and iterative approach will help me expand my knowledge in fields like management, engineering etc.

Education

Experience

I recently worked as a UX designer at Onething Design Studio, Gurugram, India. My work encompassed the development and enhancement of websites and SaaS platforms, as well as the creation of quick prototypes in as little as a day.

What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?

My goal from the MIIPS program is crystal clear: to deepen my knowledge of UX design and improve my collaborative skills by expanding my proficiency in adjacent fields. In the future, it is yet to decide whether I will open my own design firm or assume a management position in an established one. All I aim is to develop a versatile mindset that can approach challenges creatively and contribute meaningfully to the society.
